Playing the Maestro Blog Tour: Interview with Aubrie Dionne

I’m doing great! I’m very excited to be here! This is my
first contemporary romance, so I’m so thrilled and nervous to see how it will
be received by the world!

Let’s these questions going:

What was your inspiration for writing in general?

I’ve always loved stories, whether it was reading or
watching movies. I grew up watching the
older Star Wars movies over and over until I could recite every scene in my
backyard with my sister. I loved Christopher Pike’s books, and Tad William’s Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn epic fantasy
series.

For those who having gotten a chance to read Playing the Maestro, can you share what
the story is about?

Sure! A flutist in an orchestra falls in love with her boss,
the guest conductor from Germany. Of course, this presents a whole bunch of
problems, and romance ensues! This is a great story for all those band geeks
out there, and anyone who’s ever wanted to play an instrument. The story gives
the reader a window into what playing in an orchestra can be like.

What made you to do decide a story that takes place in
orchestra?

I’m a professional flutist, so I knew that world very well!

I adored the story, but I was wondering why would you name
the heroine Melody? What was so important to name her Melody? I personally like
it, but I’m curious.

I wanted a musical name for the main protagonist. As a
flutist I LOVE playing the melody- not the umpa umpa accompaniment part. Thank
goodness flutes usually do get the melody!

Will we be seeing more stories like Playing the Maestro? For instances, will there be a story about
Carly?

Yes!!! The sequel is about Carly! Tentatively titled Duets with Michelangelo, the orchestra
tours Italy in the sequel, and Carly is especially taken with the Italian tour
guide. She’ll have to decide whether to go back to her life in Boston, or join
Michelangelo on his vineyard!

I just have a couple more questions.

So, are you working on any new projects and if you are able
to share them with us?

I’m currently finishing up the sequel that I spoke of
earlier, and I can’t wait for this one to come out. Carly deserves a happily
ever after, doesn’t she? Also, I just finished the third book in my YA sci fi Paradise Reclaimed series from Inkspell
Publishing. The first book, Colonization,
came out this past fall, and the second book will be coming out May 1st.

My final question, if you were to write an autobiography
about your life what would your title would be and why?

Flutey Words- the title of my blog for sure. My life is
definitely a combination of words and music.

Thank you Aubrie for stopping today and I hope you have a
wonderful day.

Thanks for having me!

About the Playing the Maestro:

Melody Mires has sworn off dating musicians, but when the sexy European conductor Wolf Braun takes over her struggling symphony, her hesitation almost flies out the window with the notes of her flute—until he opens his mouth. Wolf is arrogant, haughty, and seems to have a personal vendetta against Melody. Oh, and he’s her boss. If she wants to keep her job as principal flutist, she’ll have to impress Wolf while simultaneously keeping her undeniable attraction to herself.

Wolf came to America to get as far away from his past as possible, and to recover some of the swagger he had as one of the world’s best maestros. He never imagined being forced to reassess the entire orchestra’s talent—and potentially fire anyone who doesn’t make his cut. Dating the attractive flutist is out of the question, but as their feelings reach a fever pitch, can they risk both their careers for a chance at love?

What's it all about

New and Exciting News about What I'm Reading! Okay that is a bit farfetched. Still love reading romance novels. The type of sub-genre I like to read: Contemporary, Historical (I'm pretty open to anything), New Adult, and paranormal. I tend to steer clear of Women's Fic, Young Adult, and MM/FF, unless it's a compelling blurb. Of course their are reasons for that. Currently I'm an Avon Addict. That along is exciting news in itself. That's What it's all about.

About Me

Since it's time for an update. All right, I'm a bit of nut. We might say silly. I have family that might seem crazy, but I love them. To keep my sanity, I love to read hence the blog. I LOVE reading romance novels, why HAPPY ENDINGS. Case close. There are occasions I will get a hair brain idea and need to craft. When I'm not reading tend to smell like the pool, because I love swimming.
